Door Windows
All windows can be operated individually, or by the driver's window control switch. The operation of the windows is proportional to the switch activation. The driver window can be controlled by 'one touch' in an upward or downward direction. When the 'one touch' operation is activated in the upwards direction an anti-trap sensor is automatically checked prior to the window closing. If the anti-trap sensor is inoperative the window will not close. When the anti-trap sensor detects an obstacle in the window's path, the upward travel of the window will automatically cease. Downward travel of the window will begin and then stop when a preset time has elapsed.
Electric window operation is enabled while the ignition is in power mode 4 and 6. When the switches in the driver's door are used to operate the passenger windows, the driver's door module outputs a related message on the LIN (local interconnect network) bus and medium speed CAN (controller area network) bus. The passenger door module responds to the message by operating the appropriate window. When the child lock is engaged, the rear door modules ignore inputs from the rear window switches.
End of travel shut off
End of travel shut-off for the window motors is determined by monitoring the current draw of the motors. Each time it switches on a window motor, the door module measures the window motor current for a preset time. The maximum value measured within that time is stored as the switch-on current. When the window motor current next exceeds the switch-on current, the door module assumes the window has reached the end of its travel and switches off the power supply to the window motor even if a window switch is still being activated.
Anti-trap
The anti-trap function is enabled for window closing in both the inching and one-shot modes. If the anti-trap feature is activated while a window is closing, the window motor is reversed for a preset period.
A Hall sensor, located in the window regulator motor, monitors the speed of the motor and if the speed decreases below a set threshold, indicating an obstruction, the power feed to the motor is reversed so the window goes back down for preset time.
In an emergency the anti-trap function can be overridden by holding the window switch in the one-shot closed position.
After the battery has been disconnected it is necessary to initialize the door window motors to be able to operate the one-shot up function.

Windshield
The windshield, manufactured from 5mm laminated green-tinted glass is positioned to the vehicle's body by two locator pins, one in each top corner of the windshield. This allows for centralizing movement of the windshield across the car upon fitment. The base of the windshield carries a leaf-screen retainer. The windshield is bonded and sealed to the vehicle body aperture using Polyurethane (PU) adhesive. The windshield finisher is a three-sided extruded flip, taped onto the inner surface of the glass; this helps to centralize the glass in the aperture.
Two variants of windshield are available:
- standard, and
- heated. For additional information, refer to Control Components Description

Interior Mirror and Rain Sensor
The interior mirror and rain sensor mounting positions are located at the top of the windshield. For additional information, refer to Wipers and Washers Description

Rear Window
The rear window, manufactured from toughened 4mm green-tinted glass, is positioned to the vehicle's body by two locator pins, one in each top corner of the windshield. This allows for the centralizing movement of the windshield across the car upon fitment. The window is bonded and sealed to the vehicle body aperture using PU adhesive. The window finisher is a three-sided extruded flip, taped onto the inner surface of the glass; this helps to centralize the glass in the aperture.
The heated rear window grid wire and antennas are incorporated in the rear window. There are two derivatives of rear window dependant on the TV antenna specification. For additional information, refer to Video System Description

Door Windows
The door windows are manufactured from 4.85mm green-tinted toughened glass. The driver and passenger windows are electrically operated, and are raised and lowered by a cable mechanism; the rear glass sections in the rear doors are fixed units.
All windows can be operated individually, or by the driver's window control switch. The operation of the windows is proportional to the switch activation. The driver window can be controlled by 'one touch' in an upward or downward direction. When the 'one touch' operation is activated in the upwards direction an anti-trap sensor is automatically checked prior to the window closing. If the anti-trap sensor is inoperative the window will not close. When the anti-trap sensor detects an obstacle in the window's path, the upward travel of the window will automatically cease. Downward travel of the window will begin and then stop when a preset time has elapsed.
